""I like timetables because I like to know when everything is going to happen”
guys what technique do you see here?

Mm, maybe an analogy?

Or maybe this say ... the line “I like timetables because I like to know when everything is going to happen” is metaphorical for /alluding to how
That’s what I usually do if I don’t have any technique lol

Can anyone find a technique in, "quicken the tempo of human life till men are senile at thirty"

Maybe that musical jargon in the phrase “quicken the tempo” ?

Personal pronoun of "I" reveals the character's point of view. I don't know the context of the line but maybe it could also be foreshadowing?

I would say it's metaphorical. If in doubt you can always say figurative language.
